Sea ice is the most severe environmental factor in the Arctic. The
hazards it creates are potentially greater than the hazards faced in
open-ocean operations. Such hazards range from the forces that moving sea
ice exerts against offshore structures to the gouging of the seafloor (a
factor to be considered in the placement of pipelines). Engineering data for
these hazards is important as operations move from exploration to production
and as structures are considered for deeper water. The MMS is participating
in opportunities to gain safety-related information in advance of future
operations in the Arctic. Engineering properties and forces of moving ice on
structures and pipelines are being studied.
